89GP_SE Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I found this car for sale by the original owner and they still had the paper work. These cars were rated for pretty high fuel milage back then, and they were pretty expensive, I didnt realize that. Edit: sorry about the crappy pics, take with the good ole cell phone.

nebojsa_o Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 That's canadian $26,000 so back then, that was probably like $19,000 USD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotrodolds Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I had a '92 SL Sedan that could manage 35mpg on the highway. After a trans shop put the wrong trans in it, I averaged over 40mpg. Alas, that was the bane of the engines' bottom ends' existance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicMechanic Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 My '92 averaged 35 on the highway with the top down... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Fury Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 <-----As my avatar tag says, I get 36 on the highway. Thats what pisses me off. How are our cars now getting worse mileage than mid-ninties cars? It doesn't make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88red4cyl Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 IIRC, I think one factor is they changed how they calculate mpg on new cars... Other than that I don't know.. Another thing I don't understand is how my grandpa's mark viii gets ~35 mpg on the highway, and it has the "same" motor as a mustang cobra, and my tiny v6 struggles to get 25 mpg highway...
